Thanks so much for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

10 years ago, we somehow convinced ourselves it would be a good idea to run the Belfast Half Marathon for charity. Fast forward a decade — older, slower, and arguably no wiser — and we’re back doing it all over again!

This year, we are proud to be running the Ballymoney Half Marathon in support of Noah’s Story, a beautiful local charity created in loving memory of Noah McAleese.

In November 2022, Noah passed away suddenly. In the midst of unimaginable heartbreak, Noah’s family chose to honour his life by advocating for meaningful change and compassionate support for other families facing bereavement.

Noah’s Story aims to ensure that families experiencing loss are met with dignity, compassion and care. Their mission is to help create dedicated bereavement spaces within hospitals across Northern Ireland — calm, private places where families can find warmth and comfort during the hardest moments of their lives.

Any donation, no matter how small, will help support this incredible cause, and every bit of encouragement will help get us across the finish line!

Thank you so much for your support — and if you see two exhausted runners crawling through Ballymoney on race day, please don’t panic… we’re probably just looking for the finish line and questioning every life choice that brought us here.
